Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF COSMETO-COMPRESSION CLOTHING Cross reference to related requests The present application claims priority to the provisional patent application of E.U.A. with serial number 61 / 441,457, filed on February 10, 2011, entitled "Cosmetology-Compression Clothing Systems and Methods" and the provisional patent application of E.U.A. with serial number 61 / 441,526, published on February 10, 2011, entitled "Clothing Washing Treatment Systems and Methods", both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Field of the invention The present invention relates to clothing that provides health benefits during use. Very particularly, the present invention relates to garments that provide compression and supply of health products during use.

Antecedents Clothing and garments with associated health benefits have been known for centuries. Some garments are directed towards cosmetic or health treatments.

Cellulite is an important beauty concern for women. Some studies show that 85% of American women suffer from cellulite and about 40% of women with cellulitis are embarrassed by the condition and look for products to improve their appearance.

Compression garments have been used to improve the user's appearance, from the appearance of corsets and girdles. A contemporary example includes Spanx® garments for women. Compression garments are also well known for their post-surgical recovery effects, for example after cosmetic surgery.

Summary of the invention Some garments use textiles that are treated with cosmetic or health product to be released to the user during use. For example, some cosmeto-textiles use microencapsulation of a product for the skin or for health, for release over time or instant release when used. Another technology, known as the dermo-textile area, uses micro-particles of a health product to be imparted to the user. Several treated garment technologies have been used in the past in an attempt to treat cellulite. Since compression garments increase circulation, they can help speed up the healing process. Compression garments are also used to treat recurrent or chronic health problems such as the symptoms of diabetes or lymphoedema. One use is in the treatment of varicose veins.

Clothing covers a large part of the body most of the day or night, presenting an ideal opportunity for convenient transfer of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals or other health or wellness treatments. The embodiments of the present inventions may use textiles that combine compression characteristics with cosmetotextiles or dermo-textiles in novel ways to produce health effects beneficial to the user. The embodiments of the present invention include garments and clothing using the present novel cosmeto-compression technology. As used herein, "cosmeto-compression" refers to garments that combine strategically placed regions of various compression textiles with cosmeto-textiles or dermo-textiles in a novel way to provide more and different benefits than are possible using existing technologies.

In various illustrative embodiments, the combination of compression and cosmeto-textile characteristics inherent in cosmeto-compression garments can greatly increase the benefits of garments by keeping the textile in contact with the skin. This contact can be used to ensure the uniform release of health preparations through the affected area, and They can be used to take advantage of the natural characteristics of the skin to trigger the release of health preparations in a controlled or predictable manner. In addition, the compressive aspect of the cosmeto-compression fabric can also add resistance to the movements of the user, which can contribute to the burning of calories and the tonicity and exercise of the underlying musculature.

In various embodiments, a textile fabric can be treated to receive, retain and release treatments of the garment such as firmness, cosmeceutical, pharmaceutical, wellness or cosmetic preparations. In various modalities, garment treatments may be liquids, creams or powders. Garment treatments can be applied through various delivery mechanisms, such as through liquid spraying, an atomizer, nebulizer, aerosol, through steam, soaking, infusion or other delivery mechanisms as are known in the art. of textile treatment. Some embodiments of the present cosmeto-compression garments can be treated incidental to the washing or cleaning of the garment, for example during washing, drying, ironing, dry cleaning or steam cleaning. In various embodiments, the cosmeto-compression textiles can be initially treated inherent to the manufacture, they can be initially treated inherent to the dyeing, they can be initially treated inherently; garment construction, can be treated initially as a part of a garment construction step, or they can be initially treated by an end user. The effectiveness of the cosmetics-compression textiles in accordance with the present invention can be periodically renewed as necessary by the user to reapply or re-supply the garment treatment, for example to "recharge" it.

In various embodiments, garment treatments may be release treatments over time. Other embodiments may use garment treatments configured to release their active ingredient (s) to the user substantially immediately upon donning or wearing the garment. Some embodiments of the present invention may utilize garment treatments in microcapsules. Other embodiments may use garment treatments in microparticles or nanoparticles that do not involve microcapsules.

Microcapsules and other garment treatments in accordance with the present invention, such as microcapsule treatments, may offer a "dry" hand even immediately after treatment. Treatments with microcapsules can be suspended in a supply fluid, such as a gas or a liquid, which can dissipate or evaporate after treatment, leaving behind the microcapsules. The active ingredient of the garment treatment may be contained within a microcapsule, and be released only in response to mechanical, thermal, chemical or moisture stimulation of the user's skin, and only directly on the wearer's skin. This may result in the ability to use the garments of the invention under other clothing or as an outer layer without any discernible "rubbing" or "soaking" of the garment treatment on other clothing or environmental surfaces.

In various embodiments, the release or activity of the active element of the treatment preparation may be triggered during use, such as * by circumstances inherent to use. For example, in the case of a modality using microcapsules containing a health preparation, the health preparation can be released as the microcapsules are broken. The microcapsules can be broken by friction, such as friction against the wearer's skin, pressure, temperature, such as the user's body heat, or other circumstances as known in the microcapsule art. Several examples of the microparticle, nanoparticle or microcapsule modalities of the cosmeto-compression garments of the present invention can release an active health preparation to the user based on binary activation, such as by the introduction of a second preparation. Other modalities can release active ingredients in response to temperature, pH of the skin, such as when triggered by sweat or skin oils of the wearer, by moisture, such as environmental humidity or moisture associated with user perspiration, or other mechanism as is known in the techniques of microcapsules, microparticles or nanoparticles. r In several modalities, the garment treatment can be permanent or semi-permanent. For example, the embodiment is provided with microparticles or nanoparticles of silver metal, for example for antibacterial effect. Other modalities may incorporate permanent or semi-permanent dermabrasion regions. For example, some embodiments may incorporate an embedded region of a persistent abrasive such as pumice or other abrasive as is known in the dermatological art.

The ability for the various embodiments of the present invention to receive, retain and release various cosmetic, welfare or pharmacological preparations may be a function of the textile fibers, or may be a result of post-fabrication processing, such as a surface treatment of Permanent fibers before or after the fibers are made in a textile, or during any staining or dyeing process.

In various embodiments, the garment treatments may be of a cosmetic nature, such as preparations Self-tanning, essential oils, humectants, glycolic acid, retinol, antioxidants, alpha hydroxylic acids, bleaches, brighteners or other cosmetic skin treatments are known in the dermatological art. In various embodiments, the garment treatments may be thinning, toning, firmness or body shape treatments, for example, calorie-burning treatments, or metabolic enhancers. In various modalities, garment treatments can be wellness treatments such as aromatherapies.

In various embodiments, the garment treatments may have a pharmacological activity, such as that provided by preparations that do not require medical prescription and pharmaceutical prescription treatments. In various modalities, treatments may include topical or transdermal skin treatments, corticosteroids, rubefacients, anti-irritants, antihistamines, anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic and analgesic preparations. Some embodiments of the present invention can be treated with pharmaceuticals to treat various skin conditions, for example to treat acne. For example, some modalities can be treated with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Some modalities can be treated with preparations for the treatment of acne scarring or other scarring of the skin, such as dermabrasion or lighteners.

Various embodiments of the cosmeto-compression garments of the present invention can be treated with garment treatments to alleviate muscle aches and muscular discomfort, for example of excess exercise, distension, or discomfort after exercise or work. For example, some modalities may release muscle softening rubefacients such as menthol or other topical analgesic. In some embodiments, the rate of release of the active ingredient from the garment treatment may be a function of the level of activity of the wearer, such as by the use of microcapsules that are broken in response to friction or pressure of the wearer's body.

Some embodiments of the cosmeto-compression garments of the present invention may use a performance improvement garment treatment, such as an energy stimulant, metabolic stimulant or a nervous or circulatory stimulant, for example to increase performance during a sporting event. or sports competition. Illustrative modalities. they include base layer garments such as T-shirts or resistance shorts treated with herbal or synthetic metabolic stimulants, such as a thermogenic formula.

Various garment embodiments in accordance with the present invention may incorporate compression fabrics for strength. In some modalities, compression can be oriented in one or more different directions, or it can be in all directions. In various modalities, the regions of resistance in a garment can be used to create uplift and support. For example, in various embodiments, textiles having a compression or stretch characteristic such as nylon spandex can be used. Various embodiments of the present invention may use panels bonded together, the joints between the panels may be created, in various embodiments, through thermal fusion, stitched seams or other bonding provisions as is known in the textile art. In some modalities, the garments can be seamless.

The embodiments of the garments of the present invention can be constructed of any synthetic fabric capable of being imparted with a compression feature, such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, polyolefin, rayon, acetate or other synthetic fiber cloth. Other embodiments may be constructed from natural fibers, or a blend of natural / synthetic fibers using a natural fiber, such as wool, cotton, linen, flax fiber, silk, jute, hemp, sisal, burlap or any other textile material. natural fiber capable of being incorporated into a textile imparted | with a compression characteristic. The regions of resistance can also be provided by the use of resistance bands incorporated in a basic textile garment. Resistance bands can be used to create specific directional resistance and can be used to create regions and directions of relatively high resistance. The embodiments of the present invention can be created using knitted or knitted textiles, or other non-directional or directional stretch fabrics and stitches as is known in the textile art.

In various embodiments of the present invention, textile fabrics having different levels of compression can be used to create variable "zones" of compression on the garment, for example in order to provide a particular level of compression force to an area such as appropriate or indicated. In various modalities, different panels can be provided with localized seams to reduce wear and tear of the garment, irritation to the wearer or both. Some embodiments of the cosmetho-compression garments of the present invention may incorporate regions or panels that do not have stretch characteristics.

Garments in accordance with the present invention may be men's garments, women's garments, unisex clothing and children's clothing. Another embodiment of the present invention is configured to be used by children 'with overweight and obese. Garments in accordance with the present invention may be for professional use, daytime use, overnight use, formal wear, undergarments, athletic garments, sleepwear, or any other type of clothing. For example, sleeveless shirts, camisoles, blouses, Capri pants, tights, shorts, lycra shorts, stockings and skirt-pants. The garments in accordance with the present invention can be worn alone or can be worn under other conventional clothing.

Existing cosmeto-textile, cosmeceutical and dermo-textile garments are available in various configurations. In some examples, the cosmeto-textile properties must be (recharged) periodically through the application of a garment treatment. In other examples, garment recharge is not possible; the garments are treated once during production, and their effectiveness subsequently decreases with use and washing, until they are finally "depleted" after 20-30 washes. Said systems therefore have the disadvantage that they only last a short time, after which they are only useful as regular clothes without associated cosmetic effect.

Other examples of existing cosmeto-textile or dermo-textile garments are periodically rechargeable by the user, such as by application of liquid spraying. These systems require the user to remove the garment from While it is still wet, turn it out and then spray the inside of the wet garment with a spray bottle, making sure not to apply too much or too little at any particular point. Said systems have the disadvantage of being very inconvenient for the user, and of requiring special interruption of the user's normal washing practices.

Various means of supply for laundry products are also known, such as detergents, fabric softeners and anti-static substances. For example, laundry detergent is generally supplied in the form of a liquid or powder to the water of a washing load in a washing machine or for hand washing. Other detergent supply systems include molded soluble packets. It is generally known that fabric softeners are supplied in the form of a liquid to the wash cycle, or in the form of a sheet in the drying cycle. Antistatic substances are generally supplied in accordance with the same delivery mechanisms.

In various embodiments of the present invention, a textile fabric can be treated to receive, retain and release garment treatments such as firmness, cosmeceutical, pharmaceutical, wellness or cosmetic preparations (a "garment treatment"). Some modalities of the. present invention include garment care systems for use with a conventional clothes washer and dryer. The embodiments of the garment treatment systems of the present may have activity during the washing, rinsing or drying cycles of a conventional washing process, or may be used as part of a dry cleaning process.

In some embodiments of the garment processing systems and methods of the present, garment treatment supply systems may include liquids or powders to be added to a wash cycle, for example to a wash cycle in a conventional mechanical washing machine . Other embodiments include sheet supply systems in the dryer. Some embodiments include soluble packets or water soluble capsules that can be added to the wash cycle to provide garment treatments alone or together with detergent, fabric softener and / or anti-static treatments. Another embodiment is a washer-dryer sheet that is infused with detergent and / or garment treatment and fabric softener for the wash cycle, and then transferred with the wet wash to the dryer for the drying cycle, where it has an anti-static activity. Yet another embodiment is a fibrous, water permeable bag containing a powder, for use in both the wash cycle and the drying cycle.

Detailed description A. Compression garments for health benefit Compression fabrics as used in embodiments of the present invention may have various compression characteristics including one or more compression directions, one or more compression regions and one or more compression forces. Figure 1 illustrates a piece of a compression fabric 100. A compression direction for a particular textile as used herein refers to a direction along which a given linear measurement of the textile, along the direction of compression, will present a repeatable elastic deformation or "stretching" under the influence of a tension force along the direction of compression, of at least 25% of the given linear measurement, without permanently altering or damaging the textile. Each compression direction may have an associated compression force. As used herein, the compressive force refers to the average tensile force required to stretch the textile along the direction of compression to 125% of its original extension.

For example, the compression fabric 100 has compression directions A, B and C, as well as an infinite number of other compression directions within the textile plane (not shown). For any given compression fabric 100, the compression directions A, B and C can have associated compression forces Fa, Fb and Fe, respectively. For any given compression fabric 100, Fa, Fb and Fe can be the same (non-directional textile) or different (directional). In addition, the compression fabric 100 may have one or more compression regions, such as the compression regions 110, 120 and 130. Each compression region may have different compression characteristics in the same garment. For example, Fe within the compression region 130 may differ from Fe within the compression region 120, and Fa within the compression region 110 may differ from Fa within the compression region 130.

Several illustrative modalities of the; present invention are presented in detail below. Figure 2 illustrates a front view, rear view and side view of a modality of a garment for shaping the abdomen by cosmeto-compression 200 illustrative in accordance with the present invention. The abdomen shaping garment 200 is made of nylon spandex and is designed to achieve an effect of thinner for the user, for example to reduce cellulite in the buttocks, in the area of the abdomen, the region of the hip the "flaccid abdomen". The abdomen shaping garment 200 can be used with a variety of cosmeceutical treatments or other garment treatments, depending on the user's objectives, including for example a microcapsule caffeine treatment; Red seaweed treatment or green tea treatment. The abdomen shaping garment 200 can be adapted for use by male or female users, or it can be configured for unisex use. The shaping garment 200 uses four different fabric fabrics of increasing compression strength: non-directional thin jersey elastic material; non-directional oxford compression; 2x1 directional rib compression; and non-directional diamond compression fabric. Other embodiments of garments for shaping the abdomen or the like may use less, more or different types of fabric such as a single type. The garment for shaping the abdomen 200 is formed without seams and is constructed from a single piece of fabric. with different regions that have different compression characteristics. Other embodiments may be formed from multiple panels of fabric, for example joined by seams or stitched joints. Other similar garment embodiments in accordance with the present invention may use different materials! and fabrics, and use different resistance and compression schemes depending on the objectives of the garment.

As illustrated in Figure 2, the garment for shaping the abdomen 200 uses a thin jersey elastic material (1) over the gluteal region of the garment. This area of the garment can be treated with a cellulite reducing preparation, a tonicity preparation, or other treatment as needed or desired. As illustrated, garment for shaping the 200 denim also uses a thin jersey elastic material (1) over the lower middle back region. The elastic material of fine jersey can allow natural shape and light compression to be worn under other garments. Some embodiments of the garment for shaping the abdomen 200 may use a strong mesh fabric over the lower back region or other areas of high perspiration, to provide medium compression and breathing in said areas for maximum cooling. The abdomen shaping garment 200 has a region of non-directional oxford compression fabric (2) in the anterior pelvic area, which can provide a combination of comfort and support. Oxford compression fabric can provide medium compression and provide better lower abdomen support. The garment to shape the. abdomen 200 presents a directional rib compression fabric (3) over the peripheral abdominal region, lower back and lateral torso region. The compression fabric of The directional rib is oriented with the compression direction circumferentially around the wearer's torso, and can provide resistance to the associated muscles, supporting muscle tone and calorie burning. The directional rib compression fabric can provide firm compression, creating a thinning effect and helps with calorie burning and increases the effect of any garment treatment. The abdomen shaping garment 200 has a non-directional diamond compression region (4) over the abdominal area to provide relatively higher compression in this area and provide strength to tone the abdominal muscles. The garment 'to shape the abdomen 200 further utilizes a non-directional diamond compression region (4) under the gluteal area to ensure proper lifting and support and • to secure. that the panels of the gluteal region remain in uniform contact with the gluteus of the user, ensuring uniform release of the garment treatment through the affected area. The diamond compression point can provide additional firm compression and strength for the abdominal muscles, and increases the efficiency of muscle work and therefore the burning of calories.

For example, one embodiment illustrated in Figure 11 is a package for a water-soluble washing machine 101 that contains washing detergent and garment treatment in one. Another mode is a package for washing machine that contains only garment treatment and not detergent. Some embodiments of the washing machine package can be configured to be added to the washing at the start of the washing cycle, for example, in addition to any detergent to be used.

The package for washing machine 101 is spherical. Various package modalities for washing machine can form several three-dimensional shapes, such as a spherical, ovoid, ellipsoid, cubic, regular hexahedron or other three-dimensional shape. Figure 12 illustrates package for washing machine 1200, which is empirically configured as a bar of soap. The washing machine packages can have several volumes, from a cubic centimeter to fifty cubic centimeters, for example ten cubic centimeters. Some embodiments may have a shell enclosing an internal chamber, wherein other embodiments may be approximately homogeneous compositions, with or without a thin outer membrane for storage and handling. In some embodiments, the package for washing machine may have a shell formed from water-soluble material to allow the content to be released in the wash during the wash cycle. Some embodiments of washing machine packs, in addition to active ingredients such as detergent, fabric softener and garment treatments, may contain fillers, such as an inert filler substance, or other associated substances, for example, a dye, fragrance or builder. rinse.

In some embodiments, the user may enter the package in the wash instead of conventional detergent products. Said embodiments may contain liquid detergent, powder detergent, gel detergent or other form of laundry detergent as the laundry technique is known. In such embodiments, the package can be coated with or enclosed by a soluble shell, which can allow handling and transport of the package without allowing the contents to escape, and which can dissolve in contact with the wash water, releasing the contents. Said package modalities may also include a garment treatment formula, such as in a liquid, powder or other form. ?? various embodiments, the garment treatment formula can be mixed with the detergent, or it can be maintained separately in the package, such as in a separate chamber or sub-capsule inside the package. Said chamber or sub-capsule can be formed, for example, by an extension of shell material to form a separation membrane within the package. In some embodiments, the sub-capsule or chamber surrounding the garment treatment formula can be formed from a thicker or more resistant material, to dissolve more slowly, thus being released later in the wash cycle, such as during the rinse cycle.
